Midlife Is More Than
a Hormonal Transition.
The Women’s Health and Menopause (WHAM) 2026
course provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to strengthen clinical expertise
in the care of perimenopausal and menopausal women.
The program goes beyond isolated menopausal symptoms to examine how hormonal
change interacts with cardiovascular health, brain function, bone and muscle,
metabolism, sexual health, mental health, cancer risk and survivorship,
gastrointestinal health and healthy aging.
The expanded 2026 curriculum also examines evidence-based integrative medicine,
the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and complexities in caring for women
at risk for or living as breast cancer survivors.
Presentations are focused and clinically oriented, with many sessions using
case discussions to connect current evidence with the practical challenges
encountered in women’s health and menopause care.
